Recognition notes
The Cygnus 2 is a 95-ton assault that fights in close, cruising at 43 km/h and topping out near 65. A HAG/40 rides in each arm, and paired ER medium lasers fill both the left torso and the right torso. Endo steel structure and a 380 XL fusion engine keep the weight workable for the heavy hyper-assault gauss mounts, and 11 double heat sinks handle the load from the four lasers. Csesztreg Industriplex Alpha builds it at Csesztreg, with production also running through a transitional facility at Nouveaux Paris.
